Star Trek (2009)

After relentlessly trashing the idea of a Star Trek reboot for years, I finally caved and decided to give it a shot.

I actually quite enjoyed it. A-

J.J. Abrams seems to have pleased both old and new Trekkies with his 2009 one. The older ones hated Into Darkness but the new ones still liked it. Beyond looks like it’s going to move the entire fanbase back to square one, although I’m only judging by the trailer.

I just think Rises is way too long. And Miranda Tate being the villain rather than Bane was a pointless twist. I’d be fine if she was working with him, but why did they have to make Bane nothing more than her slave? It was Poison Ivy all over again.

It wasn’t even executed in an intriguing way, the whole movie was a bore. The only reasons I think The Dark Knight works are because of the good pacing and great villain, the first and third movies didn’t have those

Another possible intro for the character would be his frolicking with Padme in Naboo (minus the turd monsters), so their romance is already underway when the movie begins. I’m pretty sure most of their scenes together can be edited into an idyllic sequence, ideally they’re not in hiding. Padme would not be targeted, and Anakin would be on shore leave; before being called into action by the Council, which would not forbid love.

This is pretty much my ROTS intro

In MoS, he does kill a lot of people, yes. In BvS, not counting the MoS flashback stuff at the start, the killcount for Supes is: 0.

And the terrorist guy at the beginning, and yes they do specify that he died

Wait, didn’t Supes deny that he was responsible for any deaths that occurred in Africa and maintained he was being framed?

Well they accused him of instigating the terrorist which caused them to attack the village so I assume they refer to that
